Ok i need a good regular expression to check for a price format. Price looks like:

65.50 or 65

decimal is optional. Anyone know?

I think this works, it may not be the best: ^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]{2})?$
(translation: from the beginning (^) match only numbers for however many there are, at least one, optionally followed by a group containing a decimal and two more numbers before the end of the string ($))

this also works:

reg = /^\d+(\.\d{2})?$/;

I see you beat me to it Ralph! :p


Edit: just to see how it works wth different numbers:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

var string = new Array();

string[1] = "109.50";
string[2] = "19.50";
string[3] = "0.50";
string[4] = "19";
string[5] = "9.0.7";
string[6] = "word";
string[7] = "9.7";
string[8] = ".45";

reg = /^\d+(\.\d{2})?$/;

for (x=1; x<=8; x++)
{
if (reg.test(string[x]))
{
document.write(string[x]+' is a valid price.<br>');
}
else
{
document.write(string[x]+' is NOT a valid price.<br>');
}
}

-->
</script>


</BODY>
</HTML>

returns:

109.50 is a valid price.
19.50 is a valid price.
0.50 is a valid price.
19 is a valid price.
9.0.7 is NOT a valid price.
word is NOT a valid price.
9.7 is NOT a valid price.
.45 is NOT a valid price.
